Cigarette Free Insomniac

Its 2:56 am and I am wide awake....

 I went through this exact same thing last night. I feel tired when I first decide to go to bed. Then 5 minutes after I am actually in bed, I'm wide freaking awake. I close my eyes and try to drift away. I even feel like I can some of the time, but it never fails that I find my eyes popping open again. 

I think I know the reasoning for this right now though. Its a lil thing called......

Quitting Smoking.

Apparently 24 hours or even 48 hours after a cigarette it causes me to be restless at bedtime. I can't get comfortable and I cant relax. Now for the record, I am not giving in. As much as I love smoking, I have got to give up the habit. I am almost 28 years old and its time to grow up and start thinking about my health. Yes, those stupid 'smoking is bad for you' commercials have starting getting to me. I personally do not want to die of lung cancer or have to have part of my throat cut out, so I am quitting. I must say though, that quitting smoking is one of the hardest things in life to accomplish. I wish I had never started. 

And for people who don't smoke...

DON'T

EVER

START

Once you start it will be a battle to go without for the rest of your life I swear.

So other than being restless, sleepless, nervous, frustrated mess.... I am awesome! LOL
